Including eighteen compositions by Radiohead's Greenwood, the music was recorded in London with a sixty-piece string orchestra conducted by Robert Ziegler.

The composer spoke to Variety about the process of creating a score that reflected the film’s romance and glamour: “We talked a lot about 1950s music, what was popularly heard then as well as what was being written and recorded. Nelson Riddle and Glenn Gould’s Bach recordings were the main references. I was interested in the kind of Jazz records that toyed with incorporating big string sections; Ben Webster made some good ones.”
